Zama @zama_fhe in one sentence—a pioneer in privacy-preserving computing
Founded in 2020, Zama is an open-source cryptography company specializing in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology, aiming to provide privacy-preserving solutions for the blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors.
FHE is a revolutionary cryptographic technology that allows computations to be performed directly on encrypted data without decryption, ensuring the confidentiality of the data throughout the entire processing process. This addresses the privacy risks associated with traditional cryptographic methods that require decryption during computation, making it particularly suitable for blockchain smart contracts and privacy-preserving AI models.
🌍Zama's core product is FHEVM, a full-stack framework for building privacy-preserving smart contracts on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchains. FHEVM implements end-to-end encryption through the following components: FHEVM Solidity Library: Provides developers with a convenient cryptographic operation interface supporting the Solidity language.
Host Contracts: Coordinate FHE workflows on the blockchain. Coprocessor: A Rust-based FHE computation engine for optimized performance.
Gateway-Contracts: Manage interactions between on-chain and off-chain components.
Key Management Service (KMS-Connector): Ensures the secure distribution and management of cryptographic keys.
In addition, Zama provides several open-source tools: TFHE-rs: A high-performance Rust-based FHE library that supports Boolean and integer operations, suitable for client-side and browser environments, and is quantum-resistant.
Concrete: A compiler that converts Python programs into FHE equivalents, lowering the development barrier.
Concrete ML: A privacy-preserving machine learning framework based on Concrete, compatible with traditional ML frameworks, and widely used in fields such as healthcare and finance.
